RETRACTED ARTICLE: Numerical Simulation of Stress Process of Runner Blade in Pump Turbine Transition Process

Abstract

We, the authors, Editors and Publisher of the journal IETE Journal of Research, have retracted the following article:

Qifei Li, Qi Huang, Feng Zhou & Zhenggui Li (2021) Numerical Simulation of Stress Process of Runner Blade in Pump Turbine Transition Process, IETE Journal of Research, DOI: 10.1080/03772063.2021.1967794

Since publication, the authors have identified issues with the experimental data and analysis.

As this directly impacts the validity of the reported results and conclusions, the authors alerted the matter to the Editor and Publisher and all have agreed to retract the article to ensure the integrity of the scholarly record.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
